Hi there, I've noticed that some members were having trouble finding a piano teacher who takes adult beginners. For anyone in the Akron, Ohio or surrounding area I know of a very good shop that takes adult beginners. Here is the info: Akron Music Center on Howe Road, ask for Tim Farrell and the number is 330-945-6200. I go to an excellent teacher there and I'm coming right along.Hope that helps...Jay
